Social media critic Martins Otse, also known as VeryDarkMan, has petitioned Federal House of Representatives member Alex Ikwechegh over assault on an uber driver.
This comes after an Abia legislator was seen in a widely shared video threatening to beat up the cabman and imprison him in his generator house.
During the incident, the representative also slapped the driver and threatened to have him vanish.
Verydarkman's petition accuses the lawmaker of grave offenses, such as attempted murder, assault, misuse of authority, and threat of death.
Deji Adeyanju, an activist and attorney for VeryDarkMan, signed the petition.
The federal lawmaker was seen assaulting a Bolt driver, Mr. Stephen Abuwatseya, in a recorded video that has now gone viral.
The driver, in an interview with VeryDarkMan on Monday, narrated his ordeal in the hands of the Rep member.
